I am pretty impressed with you guys. I am surprised that my post didn't start world war three. usually when a guy with a different brand makes a post in another forum he gets bashed hard and stuff, you guys took what I said straight forward and did not twist it around. originally when I was looking for a quad I was seriously thinking of getting a kawasaki V force sport model, then I figured I better get a utility quad cause I planned on doing alot of trail/woods riding and really enjoy the mud and rocks. I started looking around at all the different choices and finally picked the polaris model mainly because of the EFI but other great features were the ground clearance, Independant Rear Suspension, true 4x4/AWD on demand, great style and looks, comfort and handling. I liked the whole machine. I will be honest though cause I did find a part of the bike I did not like, the quad has a slap noise from the clutch/driveline on accel/decel at slow speeds and the way the plastic fits where the side cover meets the front plastic near the gas tank is not a smooth fit.

I'll tell you something else about Polaris true 4wd, it works great but when you put a Polaris in 4wd it takes a LOT more effort to turn it, as does the Kawi when you pull the yellow lever. The difference is on a Kawi you have the option of being in true 4wd or limited slip 4wd. On a Polaris its all or nothing. If I'm riding the trails up and down wet hills I want 4wd, but don't need true locked 4wd, with Polaris I have no choice. few and far between are the times I really need that front diff locked and with Kawi, I just pull the lever when I need it.

lol, I knew somebody was going to say that. once it locks in, it stays locked in until you flip the switch off. that's how you make the Polaris engine braking work on all four wheels, you get the 4wd to engage and then have 4 wheel braking, otherwise it's it's just 2 wheel braking.
